该组织的研究团体是一个多学科、跨国和多语言的学者协会，拥有国际交流的所有装备。然而，它是一个以地理上分散的方式组织起来的社区，语言、民族、文化和地区的界限分隔了相对自治的学术社区。尽管这种碎片化限制了组织研究的整合，但它发挥了适应性作用，使异类思想更容易抵制主流学术群体的同质化倾向。然而，要有效利用这种差异化，就需要该领域各个分散的部分之间建立联系。我们考虑一些思考如何维持和打破研究界限的方法，特别关注中国学术在组织研究中的出现。
The organizations research community is a multidisciplinary, multinational and multilingual association of scholars with all the paraphernalia of international exchange. Nevertheless, it is a community that is organized in a geographically fragmented way, with linguistic, national, cultural and regional boundaries separating relatively autonomous scholarly communities. Although this fragmentation limits the integration of organization studies, it serves an adaptive role in making the resistance of deviant ideas to the homogenizing tendencies of dominant scholarly groups easier. The effective use of such differentiation, however, requires linkages among the fragmented parts of the field. We consider some ways of thinking about how research boundaries can be both sustained and violated, with particular attention to the emergence of Chinese scholarship in the study of organizations.
